A Rural New Yorker poem praising country cousins who visit in summer. It contrasts farm life with city entertainments, noting meals and livestock favors, then laments the financial lure of town events when winter comes. The piece blends affection for rural kin with humor about urban temptations.
An English traveler from La Piccola Sentinella on Ischia describes the night of the disaster on July 28.

The British government plans to settle 40 000 Irish families in Northwestern Canada with 100 acres each, free for three years, then 15 dollars yearly rent, and optional title for 500 dollars.

Civilized men favor the silk hat as Sunday wear though it disrupts worship. Hats topple from pews and corners, toppled by dresses, book rests, and hurried hymn-book grabs. The soft felt hat is offered as a wiser alternative to preserve reverence and decorum.
A compact survey traces beard customs across eras and continents. It notes the Assyrians and Egyptians, Jewish refusals to shave, Tartars, Greeks under Alexander, Romans, English fashion post 1066, Peter the Great enforcing shaving, and a 19th century rise in Britain. It also mentions a bearded Russian battle captive and the notable Molle Bois de Chene. A closing line advertises new picnic pickles at Taylor’s Gem Drug Store.
